    We ordered the meat and cheese tray, fried pickles, and the fusilloni. The meat and cheese tray was by far our favorite! We also added sour cherry cheesecake for dessert. All the food was good and the service was amazing.

    The French cafe aesthetic is what drew me in! Our server was really sweet and the food tasted great, however it took about 45 mins to come out since the kitchen hadn’t seen a note on the order due to dietary restrictions. The interior design was beautiful, but kind of smelled like a bathroom. Would go back for the food since it was that good- but definitely opt in for the patio!

    Music is not necessary especially with no acoustic panels to absorb bouncing and echo reverbs. If you notice guests at tables, they are all having conversations and trying to hear one another. It’s great they are not on devices. Can you think about honoring the space with at least ambient music if you must play it? Or play it only in bar area where the vibe might be more expansive.

    First time, selected for Open Table reviews. The restaurant is beautiful with amazing playlist. David was a fantastic, polite and funny server. Smoked Salmon breakfast and Croque monsieur were fabulous. The plating with side greens was attractive and refreshing. I am so glad we dined at The Gage, part of a fantastic trip.
